Chapter 138: Rescue (1)

Sound of the whip broke the silence in the air paired with the terrible screams of it hitting Yu Xingzhi’s skin.

The red blood droplets rolled down along the pale body and were swallowed whole by the pitch-black surface of the water.

The prison door was opened and a Qidan warrior hurriedly ran down.

“Mr. Lin, why are you here? You’ve made it difficult for me to find you. Stop hitting him. We’re in trouble!”

Lin Bingren snapped out of his violent state and asked fiercely, “What happened?!”

“Some villains kidnapped the young master and said that they’re going to exchange him for the Champion Marquis at the red autumnal forest outside of the city in the afternoon today. The general is furious right now and has me to come search for you in order to discuss a plan.”

Ling Bingren glanced maliciously at Yu Xingzhi riddled with scars and said, “Someone is here to save you? Don’t even think about it! Just you wait. You still have to endure the rest of the whips. I will make sure you enjoy each whip.”

He reached over and pinched Yu Xingzhi’s purplish red lash marks firmly.

Up until Yu Xingzhi lifted his head and uncontrollably let out a gasp of pain before Lin Bingren let.

Lin Bingren arrived at the conference room and from afar, he could hear Yelu Xiuge’s indignant voice, “They’ve already threatened me from the capital to Taiyuan, my place! Now despite Ye Xingzhi being in my hands, they want me to hand him over just like that!”

The moment he entered, he saw the whole full of officials keeping quiet and standing to the side in fear.

Lin Bingren replied, “General, find a person similar to Yu Xingzhi and torture them to the point they are badly mutilated and their face can’t be distinguished. Lock him in the prisoner cart. When the time comes, we’ll go to the red autumnal forest and pretend to exchange people, but actually have people lying there waiting to ambush. As long as it’s planned appropriately, we’ll be able to snatch the young master back and kill those brazen villains too!”

With a dark face, Yelu Xiuge said, “We’ll do according to your plan! Pass on my military order and assemble the men and horses. The moment the scheduled time passes, quickly surround the red autumnal forest. Don’t let even a housefly be able to fly within the ten mile radius. I want to see which brazen people dare to touch my son and trample over me!”

At this time, in a dark secret room in the suburbs, Yelu Abao was tied up like a glutinous rice, his mouth gagged and eyes covered, thrown to the corner of a wall.

Ye Xingyong, Cheng Shizhao, and Zhou Xiaoxiao were facing a map and hastily discussing their plan of action.

Cheng Shizhao said, “I’ve dealt with Yelu Xiuge many times. He’s ruthless and swift, having lots of tricks up his sleeves. I doubt he’d just hand over Xingzhi without putting up a fight.”

Yu Xingyong knitted his brows and replied, “No matter what, we need to plan this carefully and meticulously. We’ll bring people over. No matter whether we are able to exchange our fifth brother out or not, he’d definitely send lots of men over to either surround the red autumnal forest or to cut off our escape route. He won’t let us leave easily.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao interrupted, “Wouldn’t the general’s residence be on its lowest guard right now?”

Cheng Shizhao and Yu Xingyong both turned around to look at her.

“Why are you guys looking at me like this? Here’s what I’m thinking. If Yelu Xiuge doesn’t care for his son’s life, choosing not to exchange with us sincerely, or that he didn’t actually bring Xingzhi out, only bringing men over to annihilate you guys…” Zhou Xiaoxiao touched her face, “Then the guards in the general’s residence won’t be on high guard. Would I be able to steal Xingzhi from the residence at this time? When I went last time, I roughly found the location of that fake mountain.”
